THE US government has said ISIS bride Hoda Muthana will not be allowed back after she urged fanatics to "spill American blood".

This week Muthana, 24, begged authorities to let her return home to Alabama after she joined the terrorist group in 2014 and became one of its most vocal agitators.

But Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has now said she will not return to the US because she has no "legal basis" to claim American citizenship.

Pompeo said in a statement: "'Ms Hoda Muthana is not a U.S. citizen and will not be admitted into the United States.

"She does not have any legal basis, no valid U.S. passport, no right to a passport nor any visa to travel to the United States."

Muthana was 20 when she used her college tuition money to join ISIS in 2014.

Speaking to The Guardian, Muthana said she made a "big mistake" and the experience was "very mind-blowing".

She has expressed regret for her actions, saying she was "very arrogant" and "brainwashed".

Muthana said: "I would tell them (US officials) please forgive me for being so ignorant, and I was really young and ignorant and I was 19 when I decided to leave.

"I believe that America gives second chances. I want to return and I’ll never come back to the Middle East. America can take my passport and I wouldn’t mind."

She became known for a series of blood-curdling Twitter posts endorsing the group.

After her first husband, an Australian jihadist, was killed in Kobani, she wrote on Twitter: "Americans wake up! Men and women altogether. You have much to do while you live under our greatest enemy, enough of your sleeping!
